26、 Distance, just like currency, becomes incomprehensible when it reaches large quantities.
So, when outdoor enthusiast and Midwest Mountaineering employee Elizabeth John says she only hiked the nearly 500 miles of the Colorado Trail over a period of six weeks, don’t let her fool you. That’s like walking from St. Paul to St. Louis—give or take a few dozen miles—plus thousands upon thousands of feet of altitude.
“I’m a gardener, I’m a busy-hands person, but busy feet are just as good,” she explains. “I don’t meditate, but maybe that’s the way I think about it—walking as a way to relax.”
John took childhood hikes in the Boundary Waters and caught her case of busy feet while hiking in Alaska as a teenager. With a background in paddling, mountaineering, and backpacking, she found long-distance hiking rewarding, though exhausting.
Since then, thru-hiking—hiking a long-distance trail(考验,试验) end-to-end in one hiking season—has gotten friendlier to beginners. John has given up 60-pound packs in favor of a lighter modern backpacking equipment. For her 50th birthday, she decided to fly to Spain and walk close to 500 miles of the Camino de Santiago. The Colorado jaunt, her first solo long-distance hike, followed a few years later in 2017.
“Going on a big walk is unreasonable and includes being uncomfortable, wet, hungry, sore, tired, lonely...it’s challenging,” she says. “It’s a leap of faith. But I found the rewards surprising and unexpected, some even waiting for me at home after the trip. There is a rhythm to walking, a physicality and simplicity...a discovery.”
Logging some 4,000 feet of elevation daily, John met many “trail angels” who provided shade, snacks, and sometimes beer at remote points in the wilderness, purely out of the goodness of their hearts. “You’re so excited, because you’re someplace so incredible, and it wasn’t easy to get there,” she says. “There was this moment when you love humanity, and you’re so proud of people for doing it.”
【1】What did Elizabeth John do as a child?
A.She often worked in her garden. B.She enjoyed swimming in the wild.
C.She got interested in hiking. D.She was too busy to use her feet.
【2】What is special about thru-hiking?
A.Hikers usually take light equipment. B.The hike is done at great speed.

【3】When John walked the Camino de Santiago, she ____.
A.was not experienced in hiking B.was accompanied by others
C.was in her 40s D.carried a heavy pack
【4】What may trail angels do?

27、 People made wings and strapped them to their arms. They flapped their arms but couldn’t fly. They built gliders(滑翔机), light aircraft with wings. Some didn’t work, but some did.
The gliders that worked had special wings. These wings were arched on both the top and the bottom. The air pulled the wings from above and pushed the wings from below. When the wings went up, so did the glider! Arched wings help create a force called lift. Lift is the force that keeps the gliders in the air.
Most gliders have long, thin wings. The wings create enough lift to carry the aircraft and its passengers. Gliders usually ride currents of air the same way a hawk soars(飞翔).
Gliders are very light, and long wings and air currents can give them enough lift to fly. But to carry more than just a passenger or two, an aircraft needs a lot more lift. The question is: How do you create more lift?
The engine is the answer!
The engine is a machine that changes energy into movement. The forward movement that an airplane needs to fly is called thrust. More thrust makes an airplane move forward faster. Moving faster creates more lift. And with more lift, an airplane can carry more weight so an aircraft with an engine can carry passengers or cargo.
In 1903 the Wright brothers figured out how to get wings and an engine to work together in order to give an airplane enough thrust to fly. They made the first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
Since then people have made airplanes that can fly faster than sound can travel. They have made airplanes that can fly all the way around the world without stopping.
Today, thousands of people travel in airplanes every day. People really have learned how to fly!

C.how people learned to fly D.how the first airplane was made
28、 Do you consider redecorating your preschoolers room? What about a new paint job? Before you start painting the wall red, you might want to take a look at some research about the psychology of color from the Paint Quality Institute.
According to Debbie Zimmer, color expert at the Paint Quality Institute, “Color psychology can help you choose paint colors that create the right mood in a room affecting not just your own feelings, but those of everyone who enters the space.” Blue, which often ranks at the top of surveys exploring “favorite” colors, has been shown to slow pulse rate and lower body temperature. So blue is a terrific color choice for bedrooms, but less so for dining rooms, according to Zimmer.
Green, also one of the most popular colors, is a little more versatile (通用的). Zimmer says, “Because it’s calming, green paint is a good color choice for bedrooms, and since it’s the color of many appetizing (开胃的) fruits and vegetables, it can work in dining rooms, too.”
Zimmer says, “Red represents energy and excitement and is associated with desire and passion, so it’s a perfect paint color for dining rooms and adult bedrooms, but wrong for children’s rooms.” “However, pink is one of the most calming colors and is a fine choice for a baby’s room.” she says.
Orange is a happy color too and it has energy and warmth about it. However, it’s clearly not the color of calm, so it’s best not to use it when painting a place where you want to relax, according to Zimmer.
Anyway, the bottom line is to choose what makes you and your little one happy. “No one will spend more time in your home than you will,” says Zimmer, “so it’s important to paint with those colors that are personal favorites. Choose colors you love and you wont go wrong!”
【1】Which room is a place that is painted properly according to color psychology?
A.An orange kid’s room. B.A green dining room.
C.A blue kitchen. D.A red kid’s bedroom.
【2】What does the underlined word “terrific” in Para. 3 mean?
A.Beautiful B.Terrible C.Special D.Wonderful
【3】What color should be avoided when a bedroom is painted?
A.Orange. B.Blue. C.Green. D.Pink.
【4】According to Zimmer, what should we consider first when we choose paint colors?
A.Our personalities. B.Our preference. C.Our purposes. D.Our daily habits.

PISA is a two-hour test that compares the performance of 15-year-olds. In the latest test, the countries with the best readers were South Korea and Finland. But students in Shanghai.
